SP CONNECT Anti Vibration Module User Manual

Introduction

The SP Connect Anti Vibration Module is designed to significantly reduce vibrations transmitted to your smartphone, particularly from sources like motorcycle engines. Modern smartphone camera systems are increasingly sensitive to vibrations, which can affect their mechanical image stabilizers. This module features a specially developed elastomer inlay that dampens vibrations in all directions, effectively stopping up to 60% of vibrations. This protection ensures your smartphone remains stable and securely mounted, allowing for reliable navigation while on the road.

Operating and Usage

Once installed, the Anti Vibration Module provides a secure and vibration-dampened platform for your smartphone. Its design allows for flexible positioning and robust protection.

• Attaching Your Smartphone: To attach your smartphone, align it with the module and rotate it 90 degrees until it securely locks into place. This intuitive rotation mechanism ensures a firm hold.
• Orientation: The module supports both portrait and landscape orientations. You can rotate your smartphone 360 degrees in 6-degree increments to achieve your desired viewing angle for navigation or other uses.
• Vibration Damping: The module's CNC machined aircraft-grade aluminum construction and 3D vibration damping elastomer inlay work together to absorb engine vibrations, protecting your smartphone's sensitive components, especially the camera's mechanical image stabilizer.

Maintenance

The SP Connect Anti Vibration Module is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the module periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish or materials.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the module and its connection points for any signs of wear, damage, or loose screws. Ensure all screws remain tightened to maintain secure attachment.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the module in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SP Connect Anti Vibration Module, consider the following common solutions:

• Module Feels Loose:
  • Ensure all mounting screws are securely tightened.
  • Verify that the module is correctly seated on the compatible SP Connect mount.
• Smartphone Not Attaching Securely:
  • Ensure your smartphone case is an SP Connect Phone Case or compatible adapter.
  • Confirm that the smartphone is rotated 90 degrees until it clicks firmly into place.
  • Check for any obstructions on the module or phone case that might prevent a secure connection.
• Vibrations Still Noticeable:
  • While the module significantly reduces vibrations, it may not eliminate all vibrations, especially at extreme frequencies or intensities.
  • Ensure the module is correctly installed and not damaged.
